Who Should I Start? Lamar Jackson or Malik Willis

Miami Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley said that he's seeing progress, command, and confidence from quarterbacks Malik Willis and Quinn Ewers as the offseason program continues, according to Marcel-Louis-Jacques of ESPN. "He's more comfortable. I think he's looked as good as he's looked since I met him," Hafley said about Willis, adding that he's excited to ramp things up come training camp. A recent report from the South Florida Sun-Sentinel's David Furones quoted Hafley as saying that the 27-year-old Willis' chemistry with his new receivers was "a work in progress." The former third-round pick by the Tennessee Titans in 2022 out of the University of Liberty looked good with a 78.7% completion percentage in his last two years with the Green Bay Packers, albeit in a small sample size of 11 games played and only three starts, but the Dolphins felt it was enough to hand him a three-year, $67.5 million deal in free agency to be their starter in 2026 and beyond. Willis will probably be up and down in a rebuilding offense in his first year in South Beach, but you can't deny that the opportunity is there for him to make noise. But with playmakers lacking in the passing game in Miami, fantasy managers should consider Willis a low-end QB2 option in superflex formats in 2026.
